Federal Agents Staged Near Dodger Stadium Amid Southern California Immigration Raids

Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security were seen staging near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration raids across Southern California. Though the agents arrived in multiple vehicles and attempted to enter the stadium's parking lots, they were denied entry by team officials, sparking confusion about their purpose at the location. The Los Angeles Police Department formed a line to manage a growing crowd of protesters, media, and local officials, including Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, who sought to de-escalate tensions. Protesters chanted slogans such as "ICE out of Echo Park" and expressed opposition to the Trump administration's mass deportation plans, which have fueled widespread protests in the region. The Dodgers faced pressure to support immigrant communities affected by the raids and planned to announce assistance efforts. Despite speculation and social media rumors, federal agents did not disclose their operations at Dodger Stadium and left the area by midday.
